The S indicator flashes red while data is being recorded on the card, and returns to white when recording completes.

To record another image, release the PHOTO button and make sure the picture is not frozen in the monitor, then perform steps 6 and 7.

Notes:

Recording under insufficient lighting may result in blurred images. It is recommended that you use a tripod to record insufficiently illuminated subjects.

Recording under the light of a fluorescent, mercury, or sodium lamp may cause flickering in the image and, depending on the timing of the shot, may result in changes to colour hue in the image.

Set the BEEP menu item to “OFF” to turn off the focus locking sound.

Do not turn the power off or remove the card while the S indicator is flashing in step 7.
